Religion / a book about engagement and marriage
English term or phrase: which backed you into a corner before
Dealing with differences and coping with crises
[...]
These things can bring strong disagreement. They are important, but they are still only things after all, and you should never let them become heavy emotional issues. Your partner, and your marriage, are far more important than things. When you have argued yourselves round and round in circles on one of these matters, leave the subject for a few days, or even a few weeks, and then start all over again; try to put out of your minds the prejudices ***which backed you into a corner before***.
